Hi!! I know the individual meanings of 7 of Swords and the Wheel..but i see them both together in my latest readings..How would you interpret those 2 cards when paired? I also got the Wheel as the clarification of 7 of Swords..I mean those two are related..but i do not see the relation..Any ideas (Rider Waite)?

It would help if I knew what you had been asking about, but basically since the 7 of swords is usually denial, and Wheel, a happy or satisfying ending, I would say the combination is either insisting all ended well when it didn't or that denying that things did end well, when they did. Ace

The question was: How is the present situation right now?I mean it was like asking "what's going on with the querent?" Actually i did a reading and 7 of swords caught my attention a lot i just knew that it's mostly about 7 of Swords..Then i pulled a clarification card-to see which aspect of 7 of swords should be interpreted then i got the wheel (and world for once).. then later on i pulled both of them together..So i know that it's about these 2... Let me tell you the story..There is this friend of mine;and a month ago or so i called him to say that i wanted to meet him since we cannot really see eachother that much and i was excited about it..Then he called me a month later!- and i said that i was busy(i am indeed) that i would call him back like 10 days later- and i did call him only after 3 days since i thought that he could get easily hurt-or defended by these delays LOL- and yes he did not answer..gosh..and i will not insist once again for meeting..! So i just did a mini reading asking what is going on right now with the querent.. Silly i know..but it's just a way of learning tarot for me..

The 7 Swords indicates that he doen't think you're being upfront and honest with him. He thinks you're evading the truth and sneaking around. The Wheel indicates that the relationship is moving on, turning, going into another stage--at least on his part.

Hmm...Many possibilities... Could it as well mean doing a stupid useless thing to stop the wheel from turning?..Stop the relationship from evolving? Or denying the change? Change is difficult to accept for most people...And once it starts it's usually very hard to stop it-..A change for the better...It might as well be scary no matter what..A new relationship- a new phase- a new sudden luck-everything seeming to fall in place-it's good but one may need time to adapt to it..

Progress is in tricky situation. One must use strategy!

My feeling is that the two cards together indicate things are moving on....with the world card later on, they are moving on to one thing or another (the world can have a growth/completion element to it I find) so one way or the other things will move from where they are now.

Ros!! That's a wonderful interpretation..Strategy...!! I've never thought of that but i see that it's quiet possibble..Since he is somewhat competing with me as it seems!! Pipkin..7 linked to the Chariot-so movement- the wheel also movement...things moving one way or another...might be.. I'm really enjoying these different interpretations..
